User Manual – Privacy Guide
Introduction
The PriveGuard 3.5mm Jack Microphone Blocker is a simple way to protect your privacy from unwanted audio access. By simulating an external microphone connection, it disables your device's internal microphone — preventing apps or hackers from recording sound without your consent. No setup, apps, or power are required.
Compatibility
This microphone blocker works with most devices that include a 3.5mm audio jack, such as:
- Laptops and desktop computers
- Android smartphones and tablets
- Any device with a standard 3.5mm audio input
⚠️ Not compatible with USB-C or Lightning-only devices.
How to Use
Check your device: Confirm that it has a 3.5mm audio port.
Insert the blocker: Gently plug the PriveGuard Microphone Blocker into the jack.
Automatic detection: Your device will recognize it as an external microphone and disable the internal one.
Verify operation: A "headset" or "microphone" icon may appear — this means the blocker is active.
To restore microphone use: Unplug the blocker before recording or making calls.
Tips & Troubleshooting
- No app required: Works instantly — just plug and go.
- Device cases: Some protective cases may block full insertion; adjust or remove them if needed.
- No sound output: The blocker is microphone-only and does not carry audio for headphones or speakers.
- Loose connection: Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the port.
- No power use: The device draws no electricity and has no battery.
- Before using voice apps: Always unplug the blocker when you want your microphone active again.
- Cleaning: Wipe with a dry, lint-free cloth; avoid liquids or sprays.
Conclusion
Your PriveGuard 3.5mm Jack Microphone Blocker provides an easy, reliable way to keep your conversations private. Use it whenever you want peace of mind that your device's internal microphone is safely disabled — and unplug it when you're ready to speak.
